“the junior suites can sleep 4, try to get a ground floor as the patio areas are private and larger” (JoeGK)

Jul 25, 2014

“All of the rooms are suites, with either a terrace or balcony. I would suggest that the terracce is preferable, as they appear larger than the balconies. We were originally given room T11, which is ground floor, right next to reception (everyone who travels regularly knows that rooms by reception or lifts are the worst on the hotel). The terracce on this rom is at a right angle to the room, which gives you a lovely view of the back wall of the room next door, about 10 feet away. All of the other rooms seemed to have balconies or terraces that faced outwards, much better. T11 is defiantely the poor relation here- I would avoid. Odd numbered rooms face towards Sandies next door (very close) Even nubers are on the opposite side, facing away. I would suggest that, when Sandies is open, there will be noise pollution, especially from the disco every night, so Even numbers if you want a bit more peace! Finally, the larger suites are right by the pool and restaurant. What you get for the extra money is a larger room , and extra area. The terraces are nice and spacious, but at full capacity may be noisy, and are not as private as the terraces on the junior suites.” (682pauld)

“The rooms opposite/near the reception does get to be slightly noisy when guests are checking in/checking out. The advantage is you dont have to walk too far from the entrance. I stayed in room 1107.” (453Susan)

“We had a ground floor room, looking onto the gardens.” (784Jan)

Mar 23, 2014

“All the rooms are great. Those on the ground floor have a rest area/foyer that opens onto the gardens giving a very attractive outlook. These face either the service road or the path that runs between the hotel and the adjoining property so may lack a little privacy. Those on the upper floor overlook the gardens but obviously have a waist high wall which provides for a more private but less attractive outlook. I guess you choose whichever suits you best.” (dig2102)

“If possibility, try ask for a room as far from the route as possible. During the night very difficult to sleep, because of generator.” (R0x0999)

Feb 25, 2014

“All rooms are good but it would be best o have one away from the road as that is where the generator is located and the power did go off often with the noise of the generator then cuts in.” (Engineer021)

“There is only ground and first floor. Both were the same and perfect. I didn't feel any need to upgrade. All I would ask for is to be facing the opposite direction to the other 'Sandie's' hotel as it could be louder from their music.” (mollyw83)

We stayed at this hotel in October 2014, the staff were so friendly and very attentive. The rooms were very spacious and my kids loved the Jacuzzi in the room. I was so impressed at how the staff did their best to pay attention to every little detail...my kids had Pancake with Chocolate Syrup for breakfast on the first day...

Interestingly designed hotel, a bit dated, but large bedrooms with generous terraces.
It is the staff that make this place special, they are fantastic, just that right level of friendly professionalism. Manager was very concientious.
Food is great, plenty of variation, nice not to have buffets.
Few niggles aircon in rooms is a bit annoying as it does not work...

We have just returned from a four week stay at this fantastic hotel, having been staying here twice a year since 2007, we can only say that the hotel never fails to leave us wanting more and we cannot wait to return in April 2015.
The standards from the superb food to the exceptional service from all the staff is...

First impressions of the hotel were good but service was terrible. I think the hotel was very understaffed. Pool attendant was hardly available. We had to constantly go And look for him to arrange beds for us near the pool. Drinks service by the pool was also very poor. Waiters were scarcely available. On the second day when we asked...

When we first arrived at Dream of Africa it all seemed really nice. Staff are really friendly and the rooms are very nice and comfortable.
The whole place is dated. It feels like they have done nothing to update, refresh (apart from a coat of paint here and there) or bring in anything new for 10 or more years. The...

The place has 5 star facilities but they need to invest more in service. Also given the price they would do well to include abit more variety in beers offered in the all inclusive package and not just tusker.

I stayed here during a family holiday and didn't want to leave!! It's an outstanding hotel in a gorgeous setting. The staff were simply amazing and catered to our ever whim with a smile. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly, helpful and made our stay even more special. The food was delicious and there was so much variety!...

Found this as a nice place to relax. It is an ideal spot for weddings and honeymoon as per the way it is set up. It is shares a property with its sister hotel so if you have a big crowd that cannot afford this hotel they can easily stay in the in the sister hotel Le Gemma which is...

Orignally booked in the hotel next door, we were upgraded due to the tragic downturn in tourism in the coastal resorts of Kenya. First Kenya does have problems, but malindi and the people of Malindi are so far away from this.
our arrival and stay was truly amazing, after spending the prior week in tented camps, flushing toilets (with petals...

Stayed here for 2 nights over the Madaraka holidays and men I was thoroughly impressed.
It's a nice and quiet place to relax and have a good time, whether alone or in a group.
The food was very fresh and fantastically cooked! Loved the bitings provided throughout the day. I swear I grew fatter in those two days :-)
